As part of Volunteer Week, the City of Maroondah held its Youth Volunteer recognition evening to acknowledge the many young people in Maroondah that volunteer to their time to community causes.

People of all ages are able to volunteer and contribute their skills and talents to making their community a better place to live. Examples undertaken by these young people included; tutoring new immigrants, supporting events like Make Poverty History and assisting other young people within Maroondah.

There is an ever increasing need for volunteers so I hope that the young people acknowledged tonight will continue in their efforts.
